Thanks. Wasn't sure. I'll have to keep my eye out for changes like this.

I wonder if there's an ability to tag items like this on the forum here which need to be manually changed by users? I'm subscribed to most of the forums, but I'd hate to have something pass by me.

Thinking a little further, maybe a notice system is something you could add to the premium membership? A notice system for changes to CMM which need to be manually done to files, like this one. Just a thought.

Which, imo, is a huge PITA trying to keep up with all the changes and having to go back and make config file changes. Why I mentioned earlier a flag to overwrite all config files that you update and keep user changes in include files or some other method.

example is this staticfiles.con include file change was committed to my private git repo for my live server config for 40+ servers and it automatically gets synced to my 40+ servers every 8 hrs or i can manually do a simultaneous sync to them when i need to.

I've been playing around with runcloud, and that is how they sort of do it. They overwrite all their conf files when/if there are changes, and put in includes for user changes.

problem is user changes and include files can all go out the door as some users totally change their configs from what centmin mod nginx uses by wiping centmin mod set and using their own. That latter environment is hard to migrate user changes over to.

Unfortunately, it's tricky as the other side of the argument would be folks not happy with their own customised config files being overwritten or broken by Centmin Mod auto syncing updates post-initial install. I would be one of those folks, if auto updated config files broke my custom setups

Above outlined diff/sdiff would be easiest way to check for yourself changes. If you familiar with git/svn versioning frameworks, you can also setup your own git repo privately to track and update changes to your server configs.

Oh, I'm with you, I wouldn't want CMM to just go writing over files I modified. That would be bad. I think if you have a stock text which you could throw up in thread which a user might need to make changes, I know for myself, I would be alerted to that fact. There might be a file in my local setup which I never touched and don't even realize that needs to be updated... that's my biggest fear. I've made modifications to my staticfiles.conf file in the past and I'm familiar with the file, so I knew this one needed to be updated when I saw your notice. But other ones could fly by me.

line by line noted changes is a bit harder as you also have to remember you have folks still using Centmin Mod older branches all the way back to 4-6 yrs ago. Where do you start the base set templates from ? Maybe from 123.09beta01 though it's also continuously updated as well.
